On some systems I see a very interesting feature, for example:
I get a message on the facebook and it sends me an email with the message, and I can reply to the message simply by replying to the email.
How does this work? What do I need to search?

The secret is in the subject line or the email address used for the submission, which contains a token that serves to identify the message.
To implement such functionality on your own, you need to master many things, including:
- generation and storage of tokens in DB, or some storage system;
- sending email through your system;
- receive an email programmatically on your system, or deploy an SMTP server;
- processing this email to retrieve the desired information, identify the correct token, and reinsert it into your system.
Of course this is just a starting point.
